Rash and Negligent Interpretations: Historical Lack of Clarity of Section 106 BNS (Part 2)

Is our law too vague when it comes to punishing accidents? The Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita’s failure to clearly define ‘rashness’ and ‘negligence’ has led to widespread confusion in courts. This ambiguity not only hinders consistent legal interpretation but also risks unjust outcomes by holding individuals criminally liable without a coherent framework for assessing their culpability in accidental deaths. In this article, the author explores the confusion around rash and negligent homicide under Section 106 BNS and why legislative reform is long overdue. Continue reading Rash and Negligent Interpretations: Historical Lack of Clarity of Section 106 BNS (Part 2)

The Harrowing Influence of Panchayati Eclecticism: A Test of Judicial Propriety of Article 329

This piece highlights the judicial inconsistency in constitutional interpretation that persists at the Apex Court, using three judgments as case studies. First, by examining two recent judgments—Public Interest Committee for Scheduling Specific Areas and Kishore Chhanganlal Rathod—the article illustrates the Supreme Court’s inconsistent application of Article 329, which bars judicial review of delimitation laws. Second, it contrasts the smaller bench’s view in Kishore Chhanganlal Rathod with that of a larger bench in Anoop Baranwal, focusing on how the two judgments addressed judicial propriety. Overall, the piece critiques the Kishore Rathod judgment for disregarding binding precedent, engaging in flawed reasoning, and perpetuating the results-oriented approach characteristic of Panchayati Eclecticism. Continue reading The Harrowing Influence of Panchayati Eclecticism: A Test of Judicial Propriety of Article 329

A Case for Transferring Property to Deserving Allottees during Real-Estate CIRP: Refurbishing IBBI’s Proposal

This article examines a key proposal from the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Board of India’s (IBBI) 2023 Discussion Paper on real estate insolvency: the transfer of completed units to deserving homebuyers during the Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process (CIRP). While recent regulatory amendments enhanced homebuyer protection, the IBBI withheld implementing Proposal 3, which allowed property transfer by resolution professionals to allottees who fulfilled their contractual obligations. The article explores the rationale behind this proposal, the IBBI’s concerns—including voting thresholds, structural safety, and residual claims—and addresses them through a restructured regulatory framework. A “Final Proposed Amendment” is suggested, introducing phase-wise voting, structural safety checks, and full claim settlement upon possession. This proposed solution aims to reconcile stakeholders’ interests, streamline resolution, and protect homebuyers from disadvantageous liquidation outcomes. Ultimately, the article argues for adopting this reform to uphold homebuyers’ rights and promote equitable resolution in real estate insolvencies.
